Finally a sensible article on this vital topic:
The policemen of cultural appropriation do not think that way. They
have a morality tale to tell, one of Western victimization of
non-Western peoples—a victimization so extreme that it is triggered by a
Western girl’s purchase of a Chinese dress designed precisely so that
Chinese girls could live more like Western girls.In order to tell
that story, the policemen of cultural appropriation must crush and
deform much of the truth of cultural history—and in the process demean
and infantilize the people they supposedly champion.
